    Yeah it's just that due to the incompleate joining of the joint heat will build up on the points of the + and EVENTUALLY they will fall off.

    But being an aircraft inspector I'm kind of critical

    stress rises will cause weld fatigue, but everything else look gorgeous - excellent work

    Very pretty, welds looks nice. It however looks like they designed it to purposely be incredibly difficult to install, it looks like they covered as many bolt holes as possible

    What RPM were you hitting full boost at... and what is full boost for you? Anything under 20psi is a waste.

    .63A/R Turbine housing? Manifold looks damn pretty... and I'm almost positive that ANY turbo manifold (aside from a simple Log Mani) is a PITA to install on our cars.

    HHR @ 20psi vs stock turbo @ 30psi.. Worked on the cam angles and managed only a 250rpm loss where peak TQ hits vs the stock turbo. Car breaks up after 6300, so calling it for today and I'll throw a new set of plugs in it tomorrow and keep on. Dynojet Math, its between 397-420HP.

    Ordered new coils hopefully that fixes the issues....
